You don't know what you just said? Well I do (after all, this frog learned to speak Enlish by watching Buffy and by having a Scotish Nanny)."Ay, lass, nao A'm off to tend me wee bairns" would roughly translate to:"Yes girl, now I'm off to ake caire of my small cubs (or my little ones; it depends whether you mean animals or kids). ;P

I think that possibly there may be a need to have non-native speakers who get bakery jobs pass certain tests before they are allowed to do the writing part of cake decorating...... But that's probably just because I teach ESL.However, if someone actually added the correct comma to the direct address (which almost never appears on even your Sunday Sweets cakes, I might add, making them still technically wrong), that one cake is still pleasant: "Good Look, Eileen" could be used to tell her that her new hairstyle is a winner. Okay, well, I'm stretching it here, but it is better than some of those others.

lol love to see people write in a scottish accent but as for you not a knowin what ye sayd lass Ah can nah believe dat. Keep em' comin. (YES I did spell that all how it sounded when I said it feel free to laugh)

It amazes me that you've had this website up for so long, yet there are still so many cakes wrecked every day! There should be a public service announcement along the lines of the old "The More You Know" ones...

That life's a faught there is nae doubt, A steep and slipp'ry brae,And wisdom's sel', wi' a' its rules, Will aften find it sae.The truest heart that e'er was made May find a deadly fae.And broken aiths and faithless vows Gi'e lovers mickle wae.

When poortith looks wi' sour disdain, It frights a body sair,And gars them think they ne'er will meet Delight or pleasure mair.But though the heart be e'er sae sad, And prest wi' joyless care,Hope lightly steps in at the last, To fley awa' despair.

As a woman named Kathleen, I can tell you that the first cake was sent from the future, and it celebrates a book I'm going to write, titled "Good". A little punctuation may have made this more obvious.

I can't hear (even in my head!) a Scottish accent now without thinking of David Tennant, Dr. Who # 10. {sigh} Thank you, Eileen, whoever you are, for having an occasion to have a Wreck created so I could think of David Tennant.

"Don't Techno For An Answer" I believe a few other people have posted it, but I'll say it too, it's a techno music compilation CD. I have it, and I love word play when it's done on purpose. :) Someday I'd like to see "pun cake" with illustrations from Piers Anthony's Xanth Novels

I think my brain just exploded.. I wonder if that good bye, fair well cake is for a graduate lol. Not that the wreckerator would care considering what it ended up saying. And I am dying of laughter here at that last cake.. boy..

Since no one else seems to have mentioned it, I'm gonna step up on my soap box here. As an English teacher, and as a sister to a dyslexic person, I will personally vouch for the fact that spelling by phonics is, in general, STUPID. The English language is NOT spelled phonically, and telling our students to "sound it out" is only setting them up for failure. "Hooked on Phonics" did my sister more harm than good.

lol this reminds me of 2 twins and since their birthday is on the same day, they want diffferent things on their cake. So they give them both half, and after the cake is made it looks completely disgusting and weird like 1 wanted a spider man cake and it was supposed to say go spidey go but instead it said go spid go cause it didnt have room.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
